[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 918152, member: 38204"] They looked extremely tired out there, from very early on in the game. Cardiff’s defence has been based on a high pressure rush, and from the off it struggled to reach its usual insentiy against a decent Glasgow back line. The first two try’s completely shocked the team, and they were working too hard to get their points from there. They were overplaying a lot. I was confused as to why at 12/15 nil Cardiff went for the corner in the first half, when they had three kickable penalties. I heard that the commentary team blamed the wind, but for CAP standards, there was barely a breeze. The line out was infuriating. Incredibly poor in attack and defensive moves. Credit to Glasgow for their attacking flare and taking their chances well with some decent running rugby. I will say though, when you are 20 odd points ahead and there is 8 mins to go, taking the whole slowing down to an obvious crawl when walking to set pieces or return kick offs was disappointing to see.
